Types of Microprocessors

There are basically five kind of microprocessors namely:

    1.Complex Instruction Set Microprocessors

• They are also called as CISM in short and they categorize a microprocessor in which orders can be executed together along with other low level activities. 
• It mainly performs the task of uploading, downloading and recalling data into and from the memory card. 
• Apart from that it also does complex mathematical calculations within a single command.

    2. Reduced Instruction Set Microprocessor

• This processor is also called as RISC.
• These kinds of chips are made according to the function in which the microprocessor can carry out small things within a particular command.
• In this way it completes more commands at  faster rate.

    3. Super scalar Processors

• This is a processor that copies the hardware on the microprocessor for performing numerous tasks at a time. 
• They can be used for arithmetic and as multipliers.
• They have several operational units and thus carry out more than a one command by constantly transmitting various instructions to the superfluous operational units inside the processor. 

    4. The Application Specific Integrated Circuit

• This processor is also known as ASIC.
• They are used for specific purposes that comprises of automotive emissions control or personal digital assistants computers.
• This kind of processor is made with proper specification but apart from that itcan be also made using the off the shelf gears.

    5. Digital Signal Multiprocessors

• Also called as DSP's these are used for encoding and decoding videos or to convert the digital and video to analog and analog to digital.
• They need a microprocessor that is excellent in mathematical calculations.
• The chips of this processor are employed in SONAR, RADAR, home theaters audio gears.
• Mobile phones and TV set top boxes.
